Reddit has subreddits. What does Lemmy go with?

My personal vote is for lemmings!

Edit: I am personally leaning towards Sublemmy now. It retains the context of being a forum under the general sphere of Lemmy and the connection to Reddit lets people know immediately what Lemmy is about. Thanks to @[email protected] for the comment!

Lemmings makes more sense to be the users

Users are called lemmings. Communities are called communities on lemmy and magazines on kbin. Communities makes more sense to me.

I mean, a community is made up of its members, so it still seems to fit?
